But you're forgetting the most important part -- Boba's SLAVE I comes with BOBA FETT.

And Mac -- just go here -- [link=http://shop.lego.com]http://shop.lego.com[/link] -- paper LEGO catalogs only come 2 or 3 times a year (X-Mas and mid-summer, or if something BIG comes out), and you also get magazines every 2 months if you're a LEGO club member.

Wenchy...*looks around paranoid...uhhh...ically*...I'm pretty sure it's the gnomes. My mom used to collect gnomes and her house used to always be spotless...and since LEGOLand's construction in the U.S., she no longer has her gnomes (claims they were stolen, but *I* know better), and she's no longer a neat freak. The coincidences are astounding.

True. The mini ships are a nice starting point...until you realize you only need 3 more til you can build the TIE Bomber, and then you buy those, too...and then you see how cool it is, and how much you want another AT-ST, so you buy another set...

And before you know it, you've lost $60 and there's this kid in the aisle at Wal-Mart crying to his mommy because "The bad man in the Star Wars shirt dumped all the cool ones into his shopping cart and ran off"...because once you notice that you don't NEED to buy another set of dorky pod racers for the other TIE Bomber wing -- you can just get ANOTHER AT-ST set.

*Whispers back to Wenchy* Actually, I was over my parents' last night, and noticed they had ONE gnome left. He noticed my LEGO Stormtrooper keychain and I saw the GREED in his eyes to want to work for LEGO and make the big bucks, and not have to sit and guard the backyard lawn anymore. I might have to kidnap him this weekend and learn more of his gnomey secrets!

I really need to learn some self control -- I was at the mall getting a few odds and ends that I needed for some chain mail and I stopped by Kay-Bee. I ended up walking out with 6 Droid Fighters, 3 more Final Duel 2's, a Cloud Car pod thingie, and 2 LEGO T-rexes (rexi?). But, they've also got everything on clearance, so even after tax it wasn't even $40.

Very cool finds there TK-4752. I too need to learn some self control. I make tri-weekly trips to Kay-Bee. The guys there...they call me the Star Wars Chick. Doesn't help that I wear my Jedi Broad Squad shirt with the lightsaber wielding chicks on it at least once a week either.

i went and got a little T16. I was looking for bobas slave I, but all i could find was jangos. thats walmart for ya. oh well i thing i will build it tonight. i took a really long nap and now im not tired!

You have now turned to the Dark Side. Forever will LEGOs dominate your life.

And if you want LEGOs for cheap, go hit Kay-Bee. They've mostly got prequel SW LEGO stuff, but it's all super-cheap right now (most are right about 50% off -- some are even cheaper). Reminds me of the days of dating a girl that worked at Kay-Bee. Those were the days. Toys, toys, and more toys.

Too bad I did all that hard work for a bunch of Spawn toys that ain't worth anything nowadays...

Well...caffeine's kickin' in again. Meethinks I shall go work on some Biker Scout stuff before bed tonight. All this posting and surfing I've been doing lately has really taken a toll on my usual productivity.

Birr...Oh, and BTW, if all goes well this week, I might give ya a call -- might have some plastic to play with. I'll keep yas posted.

Birr...ZOO will be mad that most of our postings end up on the PHXFF board... ...(you wouldn't believe how long I tried to pronounce that before realizing "PHX" stood for "Phoenix" ) And yes, ever since that class with the staffs she's been more dangerous than usual. Have you been back to class lately? We still gotta get back into it.

and i havent been to class in well... about a year now . I have pretty much given up on it, cause i will need to start all over, and i am not sure i would want to do that with the class sizes the way they are. plus I work nights, so i cant make most classes.
